    Everything we could have wished for

    September 23, 2024

    We had a great experience with this tour. We saw all the main sites and more. Our guide, Sen, was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our wishes. The company was also very flexible with our booking, as they allowed us to add a friend to the tour last-minute. Kolkata itself is very much worth a visit and this tour was the perfect introduction to it.
